The city of Kingman, Arizona, has awarded a contract to 542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) for the implementation of its Opticom GPS pre-emption solution, which works alongside intersection controllers to ensure emergency vehicles can move through intersections rapidly and safely.
The Opticom solution includes a GPS component for location and wireless communications between authorised vehicles and the intersections they approach. When an emergency vehicle needs to navigate an intersection quickly and safely, a request is sent to the intersection's controller ahead of its arrival, turning the light green and clearing a path to enable the vehicle's safe passage.
